Pity the Nation..........(with added photos)

Pity The Nation.
Pity the nation that is full of beliefs
and empty of religion.

Pity the nation that wears a cloth
it does not weave,

eats a bread it does not harvest,
and drinks a wine that flows
not from its own wine-press.

Pity the nation that acclaims
the bull as hero,
and that deems the glittering conqueror
bountiful.

Pity the nation whose statesman is a fox,
whose philosopher is a juggler,
and whose art is the art
of patching and mimicking.

Pity the nation whose sages
are dumb with years
and whose strong men
are yet in the cradle.
